The Golden Snitch³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J F Egan| T: D J S Ffrench Davis

9/2

Promising fourth of 12 in novice at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) on debut but went backwards from that when well beaten in Newbury maiden (1m, good) last month. Handicaps after this likely more suitable.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Egan| T: Tom Clover| OR: 72

10/3

Has finished third on all 3 starts on the all-weather, most recently last month at Wolverhampton on return. Put in some good late work that day so she's of interest now stepping up in trip.

Form: 33-3

Katie's Song¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes

33/1

Promise when fifth of 9 in maiden at Southwell (7f) on debut last month but possibly found the race coming too soon when down the field over C&D fortnight ago. Looks one for later on.

Forecasts

Hozam (9/4), House Of Medici (5/2), Crossbar (10/3), Hamda's Joy (10/3), The Golden Snitch (9/2), Miss Gallant (5/1), Katie's Song (33/1), Avispado (66/1), Victorian Rose (80/1)

Those with racecourse experience don't set a tall standard to aim for so this could well go to a newcomer, HOUSE OF MEDICI selected to make a winning start before the benefit of market clues. Hozam represents powerful connections and could well be up to making an impact on debut, while this step up in trip should suit Hamda's Joy so she completes the shortlist.
